Neighbourhood Overview - Paarl
Paarl, the third oldest settlement in South Africa, was founded in 1687, and still boasts beautiful historical buildings only rivaled by the breathtaking natural surroundings.
Over the years, Paarl has become one of the top choices for families wishing to slow down and enjoy the farming community lifestyle on offer here. Despite the growth in the area, Paarl is still a small town at heart with its flourishing wine and fruit-growing valley the pulse of the community.
Whether you’re looking for a heritage Victorian home with a large garden in the historic centre, a newly-built luxury home in a secure estate, an affordable apartment or small house in a quiet residential area, a small farm, or a retirement property, Paarl does have something for everyone
Paarl neighborhoods include De Zoete Inval, Courtrai, Central Paarl (generally known as Upper-Paarl), Lemoenkloof, Northern Paarl, (including the area of Groenvlei); Denneburg (in the southeast of the town); Vrykyk (in the south) and areas in the eastern part of the town such as New Orleans, New York, Amstelhof, Lantana, and Klein Nederburg.
There are also large gated communities developed towards the South of the town on the way to Franschhoek, such as Boschenmeer - a golf estate, the world-renowned polo estate - Val de Vie, and Pearl Valley Golf Estate.
Over 25 wine cellars include Backsberg Estate, KWV, Nederburg, Nelsons Creek, Simonsvlei and Avondale tmake up the popular Paarl wine route. This is the second oldest wine route and is also known as the "Red Route" because of the full-bodied spicy reds that can be found here.
Residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to good food, good wine and the good life but this doesn't mean sporting activities aren't plentiful. The town rallies around any of the school sporting events taking place, but this is an active town with a host of sporting facilities from athletics stadiums to cricket pitches, a canoeing club, cycle tracks, and more – even without organised sports, the outdoors beckon with excellent hiking and mountain biking.
